Hope Tizen does not follow Bada's (OS featured in Samsung 'Wave' phones') track.
Wave 3 is the cheapest phone with best hardware and sh!t os.
Tizen is still in dev preview. so it will lag. Its mainly on HTML5 so lots of new features and animation effects..
My opinion its simple... Tizen sucks...
It as html5 so it as New features? Wow... Do you really know Why html5 was made for?
Html5 was made to kick ass adobe flash out of web sites... Just like Apple want it...
So its not just for Tizen, but for every browser on Internet... Oooh and it asnt New features... Sorry to disapoint... Its a simple computer language for web design...
Why Tizen sucks? Because it goes back to the first step... And Android its 2 steps ahead... The 3 step I hope it Will be 5.0 in this final year...

I don't think it will change much. Samsung will continue to make Android phones. Look, they already make Windows Phones as well as Android phones. Samsung will build whatever platform makes them money. Hell, even Google knows they need Samsung because they push the most phones with Android.

Tizen based off Meego (anyone used Meego will appreciate this..awesome interface on Nokia N9). Folks talking Tizen sucks like they have used it already..lol
A study just out said that out of 10000 (ten thousand) people, only 100 (one hundred) knew what OS they had on their phone !!!
That's 1% !!!
People don't care, and Samsung knows it.
Wow... Nokia N9? Youre talking about a Phone that sold 2 or 3 million devices in one year... Its a Phone for minoritys... Samsung note 2 sold 5 millions units in 2 months... And People do know What they buy, if you go for statistics... 500 million Android devices Talk from themselfs...
You really thing that Samsung its going to expend millions on a top Phone and install them with Tizen? If they do that.. They will turn to a company like nokia... No one cares...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I had the maemo on nokia n900 and i liked its interface. Then nokia turned it into meego on n9, the only reason n9 didnt sell well was nokias announcement that they wont be supporting meego. People didnt buy it because of limited or no dev on that phone. But if nokia woould have made more updates of meego and more phones with that OS the result would be different. You people dont know the whole story and you just blab here.
I am still positive about both the TIZEN and UBUNTU OS.

I have found the real reason that Samsung was ans is late to updating their phones to the latest or next to latest versions of Android Fryo and 2.3/2.4 Gingerbread.... Its simple Apple has Samsung as a supplier for the Iphone's A4 cpu and its Retina Display (which is probably a version of the Galaxy S screen super-AMOLED. Thus I found this..."Apple is quite annoyed by Samsung's fast rise in a market which it virtually created," James Song, an analyst at Daewoo Securities, said on Friday." This would make perfect sense since Samsung does not want to offend one of its chief customers.
Could this be the reason? Stay tuned news at 11pm, updates as they happen...
I really hate apple. Jobs should get an award for single handedly making people technically dumber. Most iphone users can barely navigate itunes let alone a pc. I hope the iphone 5 bombs and sammy outsells it with the galaxy S2. I will never be able to use another handset if it doesnt have a samoled display.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I don't believe they make their lcd's and its not a super amoled display on the iphone4. This is not the reason sammy is late with updates. The reason they're late is they suck at software(getting better tho) and all the individual carrier crap they have to add in or make provisions for.
FYI; samsung and apple look to be bitter rivals now.

Not true. The main reasons we live in such a smartphone driven world today is blackberry, motorola, and, honestly, windows mobile. The idea that we could have full keyboards (since texting had become so commonplace), keep an array of files with us, and music on our phones intrigued a large portion of consumers. The first true "turning point" in my opinion was when the motorola q was released. It was the first smartphone geared towards the normal consumer and not businessmen.
You have to give motorola credit. While they may suck at a lot of things, they have generally been "pioneers" in that they change consumers minds for them. The razor introduced the idea of ultra slim phones, the Q introduced a phone that's more than a phone, and the Droid made the general (unaware) public aware of the android OS. If anything, apple has been following their lead. Just with better marketing and implementation lol.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
No he didn't. The only reasons apple is where they are is because of the app store and how ridiculously easy it is to use that pos. Apple didn't invent **** or bring anything new to the table. They just released an easy to use phone in a market that was flooded with ****ty winmo phones. Stop spreading that hoopla about jobs and apple "inventing". Its the reason why android is speeding by and apple wont catch up unless they finally revise ios and make it more functional... but at that point they'd be copying off android wouldn't they? There's nothing new under the sun. Its never what you do but how its done.

It's not Samsung that holds up upgrades. It is U.S. carriers. International Samsung phones get their upgrades months before ours.
Considering Apple is sueing sammy, and sammy is sueing apple, I venture to guess apple is looking to expand its suppliers.
Oh and retina is not amoled, its high density lcd.

and Sammy has continually screwed it's customers over with updates...
i Just wish there was a company that cared about its customers instead of profits... But then again that'll never happen.
There are two reasons why Samsung was so late with updates.
1. There was a huge bug in in their bloatware with Froyo that made it difficult to make a non-buggy port.
2. The carriers are the ones who send out our updates; for all we know we could have gotten it months before if it were an international carrier supporting our updates.

Its because its a new processor and now that they have the basic framework pretty well mapped we should now start seeing updates much sooner once they are released. But then again I could be wrong and be creating another unfounded rumor like op is doing.

well read the link to the article. From a business stand point would you want to tick off one of your biggest customers? I think that apple is not the best thing on the face of the earth. They are just good at marketing to a select group of people. I do think that Apple told Samsung to slow the updates and which as a up side would give samsung money from people purchasing more phones off contract from carriers.
ok..first of all as stated..the IPS-LCD in iphone 4 is not made by samsung..its made by LG...also...Samsung does not make Evo screens either...
There is also no one to offend..Apple's strategy revolves around making big checks to companies with latest tech to make shortages for competitors..Samsung on the other hand wont have shortages as they can make their own...
Also, there has been no delay on 2.3/2.4..it came out in standard time on the international Galaxy S..just because google released Gignerbread 4 month ago did not mean it was ready for the public...if you follow trend of Nexus One and Nexus S..it seems like it takes around 4 months for it go rom developer phone to first consumer phone...
And as for Froyo delays...most of it was US carriers fault...

Apple had nothing to do with it. The screen for the iPhone 4 is made by LG, by the way. Samsung has Apple by the balls because they are their second-largest part supplier behind Sony, so no. Samsung and carriers are to blame for neglecting their customer-base. Google has now made a new clause in their manufacturer contracts that says Google has to review any UI customizations a handset maker puts over Android before they will give them early access to their source code. This means no more carrier and manufacturer drag-ass or excuses for grossly neglected software updates to customers. Google will simply make the handset maker's life hell as well as revoke their competitive edge in beating others to the market with the latest version of Android. It's a round-about way of making handset makers like Samsung fall the **** in line and stop screwing around with this "fragmentation" crap.

Compared to the iphone it's nothing really.
You think they'll sell another 15m in a month......
We have a lack of devs for SGS2, I mean at any HTC device section you have a ''team'' working behind MIUI for exemple, making the dev of the rom pretty fast and perfect.
Here we had a good launch of roms for 2 weeks then nothing...
I am sure we can port HTC Sense 3.0 into sgs2 but we need more devs

Lets think about this in a different way - suppose apple licenses iOS to other vendors, do you think the iphone (and not all iOS phones) would sell 18 million per quarter. It's a very hypothetical situation, coz we all know that apple would never give licenses to other companies. Right now the scenario is that anyone who wants an apple/ios phone, u have to buy iphone. Similarly we could argue that if GS2 was the only android phone, it would sell much more than whatever its selling right now.
imho, sales figures of GS2 are quite good considering no-less than 5 "premium" android phones available at present, and maybe another 100 medium-low priced options in market. If they sell anything more than 10million, it's a bonus.
2,9 million or so of that were sold in Korea I think, and Koreans are crazy for everything Samsung does, so it's not a huge number for me. Apple sells 3 million iPhones in a week.

In koreaherald says clearly: "Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s second-largest maker of mobile phones, said Sunday its overseas sales of the Galaxy S2 smartphone topped the 3 million mark 55 days after its launch."
If you are correct, then the total numbers of S2 are 5.9 millions. Consider that S2 isn't even launched in many countries including the US ...
Apple had better plans for Samsung. They are now requesting for a court injunction banning Samsung's from being sold and should be removed from all shelves. Bastards...

Hmm the ad isn't very good. Which is the other phone? How exactly does the Lumia beat it? And honestly I don't think humiliating owners of other phones is a good way of perusading them to switch. I know Samsung pokes at Apple in its ads but in a much lighter way.
Nokia can say all they want but the company its a sinking ship as we all know it. Their stock fall 19% after the release of highly anticipated Lumia 900. lol
Personally, I dont think Lumia 900 is competing with SGN as it has much lower spec. It is aiming less technical crowd who cant afford iphone. WP maybe fast at doing specific function, but I doubt it is going to matter until they have a fully developed App store. Unfortunately, it may not happen at all since we already have Andiod and ios. All Apple has to do is pricing previous generation iphone at a discount or introduce a lower model. In reality, it so much easy to tweak os and make certain task fast than building a fully developed App market. That is why MS is offering up to $60k for dev who is interested in WP app.
I went to two "smoked by windows" event in US. Most of ppl who attend dont give a @ss about either Nokia or WP, they all their for the free phone so they can put it ebay. WP maybe fast at doing specific function, but I doubt it is going to matter until they have a fully developed App store. Unfortunately, it may not happen at all since we already have Andiod and ios.
Samsung has no right to whine about this when they did the same to apple with "you're a barista" commercial
plus if they have balls then let them officially acknowledge the fact that many gnotes have problems such as banding, clipping,color shifting, etc
even Sony confirmed that their experia s had display problems and that customers can get their devices replaced..
btw Nokia even gave customers a $100 rebate for a software bug with lumia 900!!
now sony and Nokia were decent enough to accept the fact while Samsung remains silent even though they are aware of the issues

Android still rocks and I definitely don't think anything will change. Once you use a windows phone and then compare it to the ease of your's friend/relative's Android phone, I don't think you'll make the same mistake twice for your next phone!
Nokia will definitely rock the phone world with their 41mp camera Nokia 808 PureView. This is the device many people are eagerly waiting down the corner and there could be a shift in the trend soon with that beast......

I have owned a Nokia since the 2110i and I strongly supported Nokia untill recently. When Nokia decided to use Windows Mobile as their OS, I decided to vote with my money. I switched to Samsung and I am very pleased with this. It doesn't matter what Nokia or Apple or any one else for that matter does. You as the consumer have the control. Hurt them where it hurts most. Don't support them and don't buy their products,and tell everyone that you come in to contact with. I also don't buy Sony products for their beligerant attitude and monopoly.

Like play a hd video on the screen in its actual resolution 1280 x 720 p, oh wait. Or play street fighter ex plus alpha on you 50 inch tv using a ps3 controller using the phone oh wait! All phones have there strengths and weaknesses but I sooner have a phone that can do all the functions than do a select few really fast.
According to latest financial news reports, within next 7 quarters ,nokias cash reserves will be over and Nokia would be blown away from the face of earth!
they've already got the first blow as bloomberg announces Samsung, may have shipped 92 million mobile phones, surpassing Nokia’s 83 million units for the first three months of 2012;the 9-million gap ending Nokia’s 14-year reign as the largest global mobile phone maker.

Some rumors I've read claim that it will be equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4.
I think that a good optimization can make the difference, placing Apple's smartphone between HTC One S and Android quad-core phones.
IMHO Apple will put a enormous capacity battery into the iPhone...
I guess since we're comparing a phone that will be out several months later that doesn't even exist yet; we'll compare it to another like phone... I'm sure the GSIV will put the iPhone 5 to shame then lol.

I cant see that, Apple will want their own CPU in there (and by that i mean a modified Samsung as the A4 and A5 were). It will probably have the A5x.
PErsonally I'm quite excited for the iPhone 5 and what it will bring.
Having had a look at the rubbish minor "new" features for iOS, I'm thinking Apple will have drastically improved the hardware of iPhone 5.
That is good for the whole industry
I'm sure the new iPhone will be excellent. Without new iPhones and new Galaxy's wouldn't it get boring. These companies need to push out great phones to keep giving us great products.

I apologize. Probably you're right. My "not very good" english fooled me... I've read on cnet an article about iphone and qualcomm production issues. Please check it on your own, I can't add link yet.

It wasn't Apple. It was FoxConn. They build devices for Apple AND other companie as well.

I'm sure the new iPhone will be excellent. Without new iPhones and new Galaxy's wouldn't it get boring. These companies need to push out great phones to keep giving us great products.

I don't think smarts has anything to do with it really. Rooting and installing ROM's is a whole lot easier than jailbreaking and using it's related tools, etc..
I just think the 'average' Android user and the 'average' iOS user could really care less..
every new device,if the job is done well, is goint to become leader at the time of its introduction it will be same with iphone 6 and then again with galaxy s4, etc.

I think it was a clever move by foxconn. The more people that get the s3 the less that will be available 2 sign up for a 2 year contract on the new iphone and the less orders foxconn will receive . And consequently the less money they make.
I personally think the iphone is easier for people to use who are novices. And it's more stable. However the s3 if you know how can do so much more.

Ok before I get started I would like to stress I am no fanboy of either apple or android... I simply like good products... So no flaming please.
Now down to business, the biggest problem with the S3 (yes I own one) is the fact that samsung (and all non GED devices to be fair) seem to forget the fundamental rule... Optimize the software to run effectively on the hardware. The galaxy nexus (Yes I own one) for me runs just as fast as the s3 in terms of web browsing and general use... Yes the animations are slightly smoother on the s3 but how is it possible for the browser to not have any significant speed improvement??
Fact of the matter is that apple will optimize the iPhone 5 to the extent that it doesn't need the hardware the s3 has to run as fast (rest assured as always it always does, will flatten the s3 in benchmarks and browser speeds).
Apple seem to understand that optimisation is the way forward and this is why the next Nexus is a no brainer... Touchwiz can do all it does but it will never run as smoothly nor work as well as AOSP.
According to USA Today, Samsung lost the vast majority of the substantial patent violation issues in the CA suit with damages of over $1B awarded to Crapple.
Unfortunately, it looks like Samsung is in pretty deep poo just about now. It won't affect OG Epic users, as we are using EOL hardware. But for those of us considering upgrades it might have some impact. I'm thinking long and hard about buying an SGS3 or any other Sammy product right now. They are going to be a mess for at least a year while all of this patent stuff gets worked out.
Anyone else have thoughts on what kind of impact this might have?

I just want to get a Samsung Captive Glide, switch to Net10/Straight Talk, and call it a day. I have no idea what this means as far as downloading or updating apps or updating the system specs or whatever. But that's all I want until the NEXT powerful Android with a keyboard comes out.
Right now I just have the Epic 4G, and when I get $500 I'll get the Captivate Glide. I hope by then nothing hinky happens when I try to activate then unlock it.
The only effect it will have will be Apple's attempt to go after companies like Motorola & HTC. Pinch-to-Zoom is on every android device, I think and they will most likely use this victory to add fuel to their nuke android campaign.
There will be a lot of change to the android software and a lot of change android phone designs that are rectangular.
And last F*** Apple.
As bad as this could be for Samsung, look at it this way, they could come up with something more innovative than apple ever will. Maybe Samsung will be the first manufacturer to use mini-projectors in mobile devices and follow through with those plans. (And patent designs before release)

Well Samsung has been attacking apple for a while on purpose. Look at the adapter module for their chargers looks just like the iPhone Version. And the phone icon looks just like the iOS version. That's about it.No reason to sue its all about advancing technology. I think apple is just trying to get rid of competition. I love Samsung, I love iOS. But I think I'm loosing respect for apple as $1B is a slap in the face. Instead of tearing a company down by suing them. Apple could just make a phone 10X better and Then Samsung would do the same. It would be a continuous loop. That's competition. OH AND APPLE SAMSUUNG PHONES LOOK NOTHINHG LIKE YOUR SMALL 3.5" SCREEN DESIGN.

How much different can a phone icon look and still be recognized as a phone icon? Was apple the first company ever to make something rectangular with rounded edges? Were they the first to make a user interface with squares? How can they patent this stuff and sue over it? Its the most generic stuff. Ridiculous. And they sued their largest partner, who makes about 90% of the components in the iPhone/iPad. Apple seems to be done innovating. They take features from Android and then try to make them sound revolutionary. Then, they sue the companies actually innovating and make their products delayed or taken off shelves. The iPhone 1 was revolutionary and really made the smartphone market the way it is today (everyone has one, not just geeks or business people). But they haven't done anything since then. They've made the camera better, screen a bit better, and changed processor.

Next thing we know they'll add something to the iPhone like a 4 inch screen and an LTE radio and sue over that

Crapple is just scared because theyre riding this iphone garbage train as long as they can. Samsung will surely slam a future product in their faces. Lets face it, without steve jobs, the innovation is over for them.

Samsung made 3.45 Billion in a quarter of 2012. Do you really think they can't handle a 1 billion dollar advertisement? This didn't kill them.

It seems to have pissed off alot of folks who used to like Apple and their stale, monotonous product line. I have three cohorts who converted to Android and Windows phones as a result of this lawsuit crap. And I can't wait till they announce the iPhone 5 and everyone sees what a big "nothing" it is. The iSheep are gonna look like kids who wake up Christmas morning to find a stocking full of coal...

Dont be silly. The iSheeple will look at that piece of coal and harp on how shiny a diamond they have. ROFL!
While it sucks they did lose, I do hope it doesn't result in a takedown of major phones. Samsung has been releasing some interesting stuff, and I really do want to hold out on getting a new one 'till they come out with a new slider. I can't imagine what I'd choose if Samsung's development was hindered because of this stupid ordeal.
